I prefer ssrx because the start is right after the pits. Lazy lol

I like the Indy one more. It has a much more defined strip and return lane. Plus drifting to the strip is good for tire warming. And you don't get top speed runners taking up room placements

I know, I prefer Indy, and I always will.

In theory, SSRX should be better -- but in practice, I find most of the SSRX drag rooms I've been in are very disorganized.
People can't come to a consensus of where to start (either at the 600m, or start line), less people ghost, and just a slower pace of races.

My experience, of course.
 
^This is what I don't like about ssrx. Its difficult to find a room where there is any order. Other than the rooms I've been in with people from here, I have a hard time finding a room that the host has any control of. People line up 4 or 20 wide and try to run, there is crashing, people are running from different points on the track as starting lines or running 3k and 1/4 mile at the same time. Or they think it is a car show and park in the way. People label rooms pro or no bs, but don't hold them to those standards. I've spent upto an hour looking for a legit room before and ended up just creating one. Bs does not get tolerated in my rooms. I try to ensure everyone is in order and having a good time.

Ok I have an Idea for a tuner for this championship. Kenny check your PM's.
 
I like SSRX for tuning. BUT I feel Indy is more my home because I've been there so long. I feel kind of weird online at SSRX.

I like Indy because it feels more like a drag strip. On SSRX, it feels like a highway lol. I've been tuning at Indy for so long, and that's the reason why I haven't bought the DLC. I see no important need to get it.

I like Indy because well.... its a circuit track. Thought the drag strip on Indy looks really legit if it had a tree and a way to catch trap speed and 1/4 time it would be perfect.

But as I showed in the online room last night, I am not a drag racer :scared:

Use of the test track for tuning can greatly improve your tunes.
 
Get ready for the next event. It will start about 00:00 GMT and that is only a few hours away.

Once the thread is posted I will provide a link to it here (or Kenny will if I dont ;) )

Its in the OCD now... Not hard to get. AND this is in the circuit racers favorite cars.

Nice history to the car too. It just shows how tied together many of these brands of cars in the game a knit together

Tommy Kaira sold to Autobacs which created ARTA... hmmmm.... all we have seen in GT5

Have fun tuning this! I know Circuit racers LOVE the ZZII, since this is in the same family it will be interesting to see this car launch!

Remember, you may submit your times at any time to me via pm. I will post them in the competition thread at the contests end. Also remember to not submit your times in the thread, only via pm. And if you manage to better your time, you may use that as your submission. You may submit as many times as you like, however only your last submission will count. Good luck. I hope to see alot of you there.

The zz2 is competitive against the r390 road car around the track. Blitzes on the straights but was suffering on the corner

And this carries many of the characteristics of the ZZII. I myself dont like the ZZII because it corners worse than the GTR (my opinion though) but it is fast as heck.

I thought it would make a good drag car for an oddball one that we all have access to.

I think with the right adjustments this car would be able to turn amazingly. I think the AWD actually hinders this car's circuit ability. (minus the AWD system which would be roughly 200kg and this would be unstoppable)

Agreed with the AWD system. All of the AWD cars are not as strong most of the time on circuits. They are understeer dogs usually. (though I do have a few tweaks I use to get rid of it on the GTR)

The right adjustments for AWD in general: raise the front, drop the rear...

I prefer most of the time to race circuits RWD (and I like your GTP username... lol, one of my favorites is the Oreca Viper GTS) I drive a RWD in real life so I kind of am used to the Oversteer they usually have. Though I also do like racing with my GTR/Skylines from time to time. FF cars I try to stay far away from... lol

Thanks, i love to race my ACR. (no shock there right..) but I also love to race my '07 subaru wrx in 600pp rooms (she has 575 and will run consistent top 3s). Normally I prefer to run RWD because if you start to get thrashed you can just start drifting :lol:
